'59 Plymouth Forum

Yeah, I feel ya on that. I have had several I wish I'd kept, like my '59 Sport Fury with 361 & factory air. I hope I don't feel that way about this one. Probably will. My dad was 84 when he passed and had 75 + personal cars in his lifetime, and that's only the ones he remembered. I guess you can...

:lol: I know, right? I work in service at a new car dealer. Of course some of the guys rag on me about the wagon. Most of them like rice burners or chevys. One day I asked them how many 53 year old Nissans are still running, or how many of the new cars on the lot will still be driving 53 years from ...

I need to correct something about my earlier post, with a big thanks to Matthew Keij for researching for causing me to look closer. I worked the tailgate window, but never went in the rear cargo area, which was loaded with the old bias ply tires from previous tire replacement. It is a 6 passenger wi...

This is a video I took this evening of the engine running. Sorry for the quality. I'll post better pics & videos this weekend. Thanks.

Ok lets see. Previous owner had trans rebuilt, front end rebuilt, all brakes & wheel cylinders. I have replaced starter, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, fuel filter, belts, air filter and 4 tires. The interior needs to be replaced, though one trim shop said they could use a lot of the vinyl...

I'm going to post it on e-bay in the next week or so, with better pics and perhaps video link of it running/driving. Where should I set the reserve? I likely have more in it than I will get back. What I bought it for, plus the $1000.00 or so I recently put in it exceeds 5k. If it doesn't sell for wh...

Thanks. I tried to post last night with a lot more pics, but apparently it didn't take. Yep it's auto, radio delete, dealer add on a/c, 9 passenger with original paint. It was originally in Tennessee then up north for a couple years, so I understand. So her are a few more of the good, the bad, and t...

Hello folks. I have a Custom Suburban I am thinking of selling, but I wanted to offer it here first, since I know it wouldn't be chopped up. It has way too much potential for that. It runs good, trans rebuilt, starter, solenoid, battery, tires, etc. I can give more details if requested. Let me know ...

I was hoping someone would know the answer to a couple of questions. 1) How many yards should I get for the 9 passenger suburban cloth portion of the interior? 2) I think the vinyl part is salvageable. Anyone have experience in dying original vinyl and conditioning to prolong life? I have the prices...

Thanks, got some coming. Now a few more minor engine repairs & lots of cosmetics.

Hey guys. After several hiccups, I am finally getting my '59 Custom Suburban on the road. I was hoping someone could tell what size 15" tires I can run to get the same/similiar profile as the original 14". I've been told three different things by three different tire "experts". :...

I may be interested in the side trim if you will seperate the items.Is it a Custom Suburban or Sport? Finally, how much are you asking for it?

Hey guys, I was hoping someone would give me an idea of what price I should ask for my dash “Made especially for" plate. It is in great condition, but has a name on it. Thanks

Good idea Steve, I think I will do that this Saturday, especially considering I have an underdash a/c unit as well....ouch! I can replace a bulb or two while I am there. Thanks for the input guys.

Thanks Roger, It looks like the only suspect point on the wire is right where it connects to the ignition switch. So if there isn't an easier way, it looks like I will be doing the bat thing for a while..... then to the chiropractor.
